Why does my iPad ask for sign in info constantly?

I Am asked to sign in to Apple and Game Center constantly. very annoying. Anyone know why?

After reading Jeff's reference, I checked my E-Mail.  On the day I downloaded the "free" App, I also received a message that included:
"Your Apple ID was just used to purchase Google Earth from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorized purchases."
However, the E-Mail did not mention what the charge was.  I'll have to wait for my next credit card statement to be sure there was no charge!

  • Why does my iPad ask for a credit card to buy apps when I already have money on my iTunes account?

    Why does it do that? It used to do that for free apps to but once I put my credit card on it, it stop asking for free apps. But now it still wants a card even though I still have 20 dollars left from a birthday gift card. I heard somewhere that this was because of a new feature to stop kids from downloading apps that their parents don't want them to or buying a bunch of apps and racking up a huge bill, is this part of it?

    Is the card expired? You cannot have an expired card in your account.

  • Why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
    This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
    Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there.

  • Why does iClod keep asking for my password?

    Why does iCloud keep asking for a password? I don't remember asking for this and if I try to turn it off it threatens to delete my calendars off my mac but keep them on some else's server!

    Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sing back in (your data will download back to your Mac).  See if that stops the prompts for the password.

  • Why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select

              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select

    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Why does it keep asking for my password ?

    Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

    It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
    When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

  • HT4623 Why does the update ask for a pass code? Previous updates did not.  Why does it NOT accept the only PIN I have set on this computer? Thanks.

    What the heck is a "pass code" and why am I being asked for one??  And where would I find said pass code?  I've not had to do that for prior updates, so am more than a bit confuzzed.  Thanks.

    The Passcode is the 4 digit code you use to unlock your iPad.

  • HT5035 Why, when trying to download a "free" app from iTunes after it say's, "this apple id hasn't been used with the iTunes store" does it keep asking for credit card info???

    This is so frustrating! I have an itunes store account, etc. I lost all my info when I had to "restore" my iphone.
    I wasn't able to do the "restore" until recently, gosh it was about 6mos or more ago when my iphone died...
    So, as I get older I am having memory problems and haven't been able to access my itunes account.
    Obviously when I did the "restore" on my iphone I lost all my info with it... So, wanting to use my iphone for
    music, games, etc. I had to create a new apple id, fine, but when I wanted to download a "free" app it says
    my apple id hasn't been used with itunes so it keeps asking for credit card info.
    I do not remember ever having to have a credit card before!
    I am so frustrated... First it was not being able to access my account then having to create a new one, fine!
    But now I can't download "free" content without credit card information!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! UGH!!!!!!!
    Please, can anyone help...?!?
    Sincerely,
    "Distressed"

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • Why does the iPad ask me questions that I have ever answered to answer for a purchase?

    I am having trouble purchasing music because the iPad keeps asking me to answer questions I had never been asked and don't have answers to.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

  • Why does my iPad ask to be connected to my computer? Answer as simply as possible please.

    Sometimes I get a message on screen asking me to connect my iPad to a computer.  Why does this happen?

    I was just reading a discussion from May about this, and I learned that the ipad and ipad2 are meant to be used with a computer.
    I just bought one this week for my mother to replace her pc, because the ONLY thing she does is email and internet. She's 85, retired, and does not even write a document, doesn't need any Microsoft Office products. I didn't want to get her a cheap laptop (read: Windows-based) because of spyware, viruses, etc. It made no sense for her to get an ibook for over $1100 just for email and web surfing... The ipad2 made the most sense, but I also didn't realize the need for a computer to set it up.
    Whether it's Apple or another company, a device needs to be developed for older people, who, by the way, make up the largest percentage of the US population, that offers email and internet access and can be set up without a computer.
    Perhaps developers will read this and create a future generation of ipad or other tablets that can be set up without a computer.
